Riveted Flap Braces, Installed Other Aileron, Safety Wired Autopilot Servo

After dropping the kids off the morning, I stopped back by the house and riveted on the flap braces.  I’m definitely getting the hang of riveting with the gun solo.  I slightly overdrove a couple of rivets (though not badly enough to drill out), but virtually all were perfect.

After work tonight, my wife was hosting a Bunco party at our house, so I was on kid duty.  After they went to bed, I had a little time before the ladies left, so I snuck out to the garage and mounted the other aileron.

I also safety wired the autopilot roll servo’s mounting bolts.  I’m still getting the hang of safety wiring.  It’s tricky to estimate how much extra wire to leave before twisting since the wire segment shortens as you twist it.  It only took two tries to get this properly secured.
